This article shows how multiobjective programming, compromise programming, and filtering techniques can be used to tackle some problems found in agricultural planning. A real case involving the establishment of workers' cooperatives within an agrarian reform program in Andalusia (Spain) is studied. The underlying problem is to find a compromise between the following objectives: employment, seasonal labor, and business profitability. The multiobjective programming approach is used to find the efficient set among these objectives, and after a filtering procedure, a compromise between the objectives is established based on the compromise programming approach. © 1987 American Agricultural Economics Association.
